Chapter 1399

What!

Zeke’s eyes lit up menacingly.

How dare they encroach upon out sacred lands?

This goes against everything Eurasia stands for.

They must pay for what they’ve done!

Zeke immediately nominated himself for this mission. “Colonel, I am prepared to head down there and defeat these invaders.”

This was so important that Zeke had completely forgotten about his problem with Emily.

“Very well, you’ll be entrusted with this mission,” the Colonel replied, “But bear in mind, I cannot tell the public about your involvement in this. What’s more, I will be unable to offer you any assistance.”

“This is to prevent words from getting out that your life force hasn’t been damaged at all.”

“There is no need to explain, Colonel,” Zeke said, “I understand.”

The Colonel laughed. “Hmm, I’m really sorry about this, Zeke.”

“Don’t worry, Eurasia will never aggrieve the heroes who protect the country.”

“When things start to stabilize, I’ll promote you to the unparalleled position of National Soldier.”

It was the Colonel’s idea for Zeke to continue pretending to an ordinary person with a damaged life force.

He wanted to use this to lure out that assassin squad from the United States.

This squad posed as a severe threat to many important political figures in Eurasia. Therefore, they had to be eliminated.

That was why news of Zeke attaining the King Class had to be kept as a secret.

Without further ado, Zeke immediately set off for the Southern Archipelago.

He didn’t even have time to bid farewell to Lacey.

Meanwhile, news of the invasion of the Southern Archipelago spread like wildfire across Eurasia.

As worried citizens condemned the actions of the Lundrians, they also urged anyone brave enough to come forth and claim back the Southern Archipelago.

This was good news to some and bad news to others.

This was certainly very troubling for the people of Eurasia.

Ares and Julian, however, were really excited upon hearing about this.

This was the perfect opportunity for Julian to gain a position.

“Julian,” Ares instructed, “You have to seize this opportunity.”

“Now that Zeke has become the disdain in the public’s eyes, calls for him to step down are at an all-

time high.”

“If you were to take back the Southern Archipelago at this time and win the hearts of the people, it would only be a matter of time before you were made the new Great Marshal.”

Julian, however, was rather worried. “Sir, the Lundrian Army has always been known for their ferocity in battle.”

“The fact that they were able to take over the Southern Archipelago just goes to show how strong they really are.”

“I’m afraid that I wouldn’t be a match for them.”

“Don’t worry,” Ares assured him, “I’ll be fighting alongside you this time. But of course, all the credit will be given to you.”

Julian was incredibly moved. “Thank you for helping me, Sir!”

With a King Class warrior at his side, who would even stand a chance against him?

Julian immediately wrote in to the military and nominated himself to join the fight.

He also requested for a troop of elite soldiers.

The military naturally agreed.

The more people they had on their side, the higher their chances of taking back those islands.

Ares and Julian led their troop of elite soldiers and rushed down to the Southern Archipelago overnight.

After a night of traveling, they finally reached their destination in the early morning, the southernmost tip of the mainland.

They were only separated from the Southern Archipelago by a strait.

From where they were, they could distinctly make out the countless Lundrian soldiers scattered across the Southern Archipelago.

The highest in command at this battlefront came over to greet them warmly.

“Archduke, Mr. Thisleton, the ferry has been prepared.”

“May I ask when would you guys be setting sail?”

“Right away,” replied Julian.

“Great!”

The military officer then hastily arranged for the troop of elite soldiers to board the ship.

However, just as they were about to leave, there was suddenly an enormous explosion on the surface of the sea.

As their attention was drawn towards this explosion, they immediately caught a glimpse of a black figure above the surface of the water.
